When you reach a certain age, you may develop something called "age syndrome". They may attribute this condition to being incurable.
"Your Majesty... This might be happening around winter. It could be that the massacres that took place a few years ago happened at this time, leading to the current situation..."
After saying this, Xiao Chenzi hesitated and didn't dare to say anything else, for fear that the emperor would frown and say that he was feudal and superstitious. In the end, there would be no benefit and his head would be shaken if he didn't say it.
"Go on."
Zhao Xin frowned slightly, feeling that the person who was dragging his feet in front of him seemed a little unserious.
"I heard rumors that it was because too many people were killed at that time that the scene of a hundred demons parading at night was formed. It was also because your Majesty's true dragon energy was very strong, so the danger was put on the subordinates below."
"Tsk,"
He just sneered, which scared the eunuch next to him. He must have been scared to death when he heard the emperor's laughter.
This rumor is weird.
"Who spread it?"
Not only is what it said not correct at all, it also smacks of feudal superstition.
"No...I don't know."
Who knows where this thing came from.
Zhao Xin just closed his eyes and said nothing.
This so-called Night Parade of a Hundred Demons is not because this is the time to settle the year-end bonus. If what you do satisfies the emperor, you can get a large bonus immediately.
And this thing was also formulated before.
This was planned after the death of those people who had caused trouble.
Ever since hearing about this incident, a group of people have been feeling depressed at this time of year. They should be fine as long as their year-end bonuses are distributed in a few days.
It was just as he expected.
After the year-end bonus was announced, there was really nothing to worry about. Everyone was so happy that they almost jumped up.
And this unhappiness is so great that I'm afraid the depression will burst through the roof.
"How can you be so listless day by day?"
No one in the audience said a word, but the atmosphere in the entire court remained unchanged, and everyone was still depressed.
After all, there are a lot of prizes.
"One by one... I will formulate one for you."
The group's eyes lit up.
"Besides, with all the work you've done year after year, if I hadn't given you this prize, you would have felt a little guilty about it. But there's one more thing..."
"What's going on?"
Everyone was confused.
"This matter is that I intend to set up a new prize for you. This prize is the so-called lottery. Whatever you can draw is fine."
"good!"
This is completely a welfare benefit, who would dare not agree to it?
"In that case, three days later."
"What about the general who can't come back in time over there?"
"Don't worry about it. Apart from this official, the rest of the eunuchs, palace maids and even my beloved concubines in the harem can smoke. Naturally, I won't let you down too much."
Wow, the whole audience shouted to kneel down and thank His Majesty, each one more than the last, making people's blood boil.
"I have to say that even people outside the palace have heard about what His Majesty has done this time. I heard that the Emperor is going to hold a lottery."
Naturally, he didn't expect that such a seemingly innocuous little activity could spread outside, so he thought about it silently for a while.
"Since that's the case, I'll give this commoner here a chance. I'll also designate the prizes for you to participate later. And the records are also kept in the government office, so there's no need to worry about mistaking someone."
Naturally, the scope of participation can only be the capital area.
"Your Majesty, please take charge first."
Xiao Chenzi next to him held up a red pen and handed it to the emperor. After Zhao Xin took it, he pondered for a moment and then started writing on the paper.
Since his calligraphy skills are pretty good, what he wrote... is obviously quite good.
"Well, your Majesty, your handwriting is excellent!"
"Um."
He didn't say much, and then continued to write a few more. Xiao Chenzi could naturally notice that after the praise, the emperor's writing speed became noticeably faster.
"This calligraphy is worthy of your Majesty. There's a hint of dragon energy on the characters."
Although this sounds nice, I heard that emperors are all suspicious by nature. In this era where the number of emperors can be counted on one hand, they naturally have the common qualities of emperors.
So-called, suspicious by nature.
It is said that there is dragon energy in his writing, and dragon is a creature that flies in the sky. Does that mean that his writing is floating?
"How about my handwriting? Could it be that you, a eunuch, are not satisfied with it?"
Xiao Chenzi naturally didn't dare to mean this, but he was afraid that this explanation would be confirmed by the emperor, so he was in a dilemma. Xiao Chenzi stood by and his brain was working quickly, trying to think of a solution.
What should I do? ...
That’s right!
He has a solution.
"Your Majesty, this character is naturally like a transformed dragon. It is already stained with dragon breath. If you don't know, you would think it is trying to fly!"
"I'm painting here, and I can fly. Why don't you say that after I die, I will become a dragon and ascend to heaven?"
“That’s not impossible…”
Good job.
"What did you say?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the emperor opposite was naturally unwilling. After hearing these words, he even exploded and slammed the table.
Boom.
The painting I just wrote with so much effort has all been ruined. Look at those big, dancing characters, now they are all cracked into pieces.
The pen, ink, paper and inkstone next to it were all shattered at the same time, and no one cared at this time. They just saw that the things were broken but did not dare to go forward to pick them up.
I was afraid that the emperor would go up and smash it into pieces for no reason like he did the table.
Xiao Chenzi was also scared. He just spoke without thinking.
He would never have dared to say that under normal circumstances.
It's because the year-end bonus this year is so generous. His Majesty probably intends to give him a big prize this year. Not only the year-end bonus, but also the lottery, he won money without exception.
It was enough for him to buy five or six houses in the capital.
Look at those houses, each one of them is a special plus, otherwise why would they be so expensive? Anyway, the emperor has been involved in insurance from the beginning to the end, so there will be a lot left after spending it all.
So now Xiao Chenzi is probably free from his previous constraints and now he is just trying to make a joke even if he says a word.
If I had explained it seriously just now, the emperor probably wouldn't have been so excited!
Xiao Chenzi also swallowed his saliva. It must be said that he really regretted it.
